Instructions

In a large bowl, mix cooked quinoa, mashed sweet potato, almond flour, scallions, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until sticky and well combined.
Shape the mixture into 8 small patties using your hands.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
In a blender, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water to reach desired consistency.
Divide spinach or mixed greens between two serving bowls and layer with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, and shredded carrot.
Top each bowl with 3–4 patties and drizzle generously with avocado yogurt sauce.
Serve warm or chilled, depending on preference.

Notes

Use oat flour or chickpea flour as a substitute for almond flour.

For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt in the drizzle.

Add roasted chickpeas or nuts for extra protein and crunch.

Add cayenne or chili flakes to the patty mix for more heat.

Store patties and drizzle separately; reheat patties in a skillet or air fryer.
